Supreme Justice with Judge Karen

Similar to many other shows of this type, the show is entirely scripted, using outrageous complaints, and people who simply cannot act. It's an embarrassment for anyone involved in its production. With excellent legal-based fare on TV, it's incredible that this nonsense has found any audience. In the episode that I'm watching currently, a guy claimed that his ankle was broken by another fraternity member, and he wanted less than $150 in damages. The first case involved a woman who claimed that her husband-to-be faked his death, and had no proof that an money was expended, or that any sort of promise had been made. As I mentioned earlier, absolute nonsense. The show is produced by "Entertainment Studios", an obvious clue that no one involved with this mess has any legal standing whatsoever.

Its no longer affordable to have 2 cars so I watch judge karen now in the lobby of my job as I wait for the train to start running again on days my gf has the car. 1 episode I watched a mother was suing a swim instructer for the reimbursement of class fees bc her son was being bullied and the instructor despite the mother talking to him did nothing to intervene the bullying continued so she thought the best thing to do was to take him out of the class. I don't know the law in this case but what judge karen told her was that kids get bullied and that mom shouldn't always jump in and save them. And ruled against her what bs. The kid was only 11. It doesn't specify the type of bullying but If my kid is getting hit or spit on or called names and dunked in the pool and the instructor lets that happen I'm taking my kid out of that class. The next episode is even worse. So then I saw another episode and this prompted me to write this review. A girl was suing her former best friend for a scholarship she lost due to the friend posting a picture online and accusing her of being a man stealer and she began to get cyberbullied and bullied on campus by everyone to the point she couldn't leave her room and slipped back into a deep depression. She also testified that she had struggled with mental illness and sought therapy prior to the whole incident and that the defendant was also aware of that. Because of the severe bullying she missed classes and lost her scholarship. Judge karen ruled against her. I couldn't believe it. The photo in question was just a picture of her sitting next to the guy and they are laughing. Judge karen even said there was nothing to suggest cheating in the photo. So if thats the case isnt it defamation of character for someone to post a pic of you and spread harmful lies about you? Instead judge karen told the girl she needs to pick herself up by her bootstraps. How is that justice?? To me judge karen is disgusting. She lets her personal views get in the way of her rulings and her view on bullying is it doesn't exist. Despite the many many kids who have lost their lives because of it. Killed other kids. Kill theselves. I feel sorry for the girl I hope she is okay and gets help or that this show is fake.

I've never understood the "my courtroom" attitude, condescension and disdain some/most of these tv judges exhibit...as though their job is a favor to the litigant. I don't generally take issue with her rulings; I DO find her to be rude, dramatic, condescending, patronizing.. I can go on. The courtroom is dramatic itself without the extras...maybe it's necessary for ratings, but Mathis is even MORE dramatic, entertaining and loads more respectful doing it. You leave with your dignity in tact .. unless you try to play him. Then you leave in pieces. Sis can learn from a brotha. I think she's the one who says purpose of court is to make you whole or restore you to wholeness or some such. You don't do that awarding damages but damaging individuals in the process.

Today I finally decided to stop watching her. She continually listens to someone explaining something and then when she is ready to rule, she exclaims that she doesn't understand. It is usually something that everyone has heard of in today's society, but she seems to live in a box. Then yesterday she criticized one parent for not bringing her child to testify because then she, Judge Karen, didn't know for sure what happened. The next case brought her child in order to testify and she rolled her eyes and acted like that was terrible parenting to bring the child! She almost never rules. No one ever gets justice. She always finds a reason to pass and dismiss the case for stupid reasons. I would never in a million years go to her for any justice. Some say it is all fake. I don't know if it is or not, but she looks mighty stupid no matter how real it is.

I am really interested in watching court shows. I watch Judge Mathis, Judge Ross, Judge Milian, Judge Judy, and more recently Judge Jerry. Most of those Judges are very intelligent and gain experience and knowledge as time goes by. They are organized and have certain ways of doing their work to best come to a verdict or decision. Judge Karen is very different in the way she does her job. I do not know how she comes to her conclusion. It seems she does not know what she is doing. Her verdicts seem to be off the majority of the time. Whatever she does to help herself in determining an outcome she needs to stop and find a new way of doing things. She needs to listen to litigants and focus on what they say. Other great judges speak out loud to themselves to better try to visualize both parties or litigants situation that brought them to court. A good Judge in my eyes puts themselves in the eyes of both parties and has great communication. Judge Karen seems to think she is too good for that and cares more how she looks in the public's eyes, which backfires and makes her act and become non-professional. She needs to learn that having a real gavel does not make her high and mighty. I really want to hear the other Judges reviews of her and suggestions to her. I cannot watch her she because it literally makes me sick how she can be. Her courtroom is a circus and is an insult to others that take their Career serious. I am starting to believe that the guests in the show are there as punishment, and she should understand that most people laugh at her not with her.
